Case Study: KapStone Paper & Packaging achieves scalable, high-performance IT infrastructure with Flexential

Collaboration and robust colocation deliver high performance for expanding paper manufacturer

KapStone Paper & Packaging, a rapidly expanding paper manufacturer formed after a 2006 carve‑out, needed to stand up a full IT environment quickly to support its ERP and production systems, integrate future acquisitions, and replace legacy services. With no in‑house infrastructure and tight migration timelines, the company sought a trusted partner to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable operations without the time and expense of building and staffing its own data centers.

Flexential provided tailored colocation, network management, and 24/7 technical support, executing a seamless data‑center migration, adding bandwidth and infrastructure for acquisitions, and establishing a geographically redundant disaster‑recovery site in Charlotte. The result was improved performance, reliability and security, measurable cost savings by avoiding new hires, continued scalability for growth, a renewed long‑term relationship, and ongoing projects for virtualization and expanded application support.
